How To Attach Shipping Labels
Once your labels are ready, it’s essential to attach them securely to your items.
Luggage Labels
- Pack your luggage securely and lock it with a zip tie or luggage lock.
- Attach the label using a Fly Tag or clear packing tape, ensuring it’s visible and firmly affixed.
Box Labels
- Seal the box with durable packing tape before attaching the label.
- Place the label on the largest flat surface for better visibility.
Golf Club Labels
- Remove the club heads, cushion them with bubble wrap, and pack them in a hard or soft travel bag.
- Use a tag and zip tie to attach the label securely, avoiding tape for soft bags.
Skis and Snowboards Labels
- Secure the tips and tails of skis or snowboards with bubble wrap, fastened with painter's tape. Place skis base to base with bindings outward or pack snowboards directly into a soft travel bag.
- Use a luggage or fly tag for the shipping label, threading a zip tie through the tag and fastening it to the top handle of the travel bag. Avoid taping labels directly onto soft materials to prevent detachment.
- Double-check that the label is tightly secured and clearly visible to ensure safe transit and accurate delivery.
